Understanding Water Conservation

Art Wehnert - Wednesday, May 25, 2011
    What exactly does water conservation mean to most of us? Some people understand the concept of home use conservation, but most probably relate water conservation to their yard and local controls over lawn sprinkling. The reality is that water conservation is becoming more of a main stream requirement for todays building departments and most munincipalities are supporting this with code inforcement. What used to be an optional interest for ecologically minded people is now most likely a requirement in your local area. A few townships and citieseven have subsidy programs to reimburse residents for investing in low flow toilets and shower heads. Another common reimbursment program is investing in water barrels, where your local town might provide these products at an steeply discounted rate or refund part of your purchase price.
    All of the designs we produce incorporate water saving features in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements with built in bars or kitchenettes. We also promote the use of whole house water heaters to conserve water usage. It is amaizing how mush water we waste waiting for the warm water to get to the shower head.
